success achieved.” Maybe it is true that everyone encounters an injury of different degrees; however, how that injury affects the outcome of a person is entirely up to the individual. People can either choose to be defeated by an injury or they can choose to be one who overcomes the obstacle. One particularly difficult injury to overcome, and the most common in female athletes, is known as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. An ACL injury is serious but very much treatable. Current research reveals
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries (ACL) can be detrimental for individuals who want to excel in their sport. The debilitating injury leads to a period of regression in performance essentially deconditioning the athlete, which can be a huge drawback for individuals of different levels of competition. The knee is one of the most commonly injured joints of the human body and carries an increased risk of injury with sports participation. Recent research states approximately 40% of all ligamentous knee
Introduction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common sports injury occurs widely in the USA with the majority of suffered by healthy individuals with 70%of non contact period, during variety of movements such as jump landing, cutting and pivoting (9). Different risk factors should be considered for injury such as environmental, hormonal and biomechanical (8, 1). ACL injury prevalence is very high in soccer as well as other sports in females compared with males (15). Anterior shear force

review the work of others in regarding women’s higher rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in comparison to men. Evidence regarding these elevated rates includes alternated motor control strategies, differences in sex hormones, differences in knee flexion angles, and core strength differences in men and women athletes. Numerous studies have produced correlating data in reference to women’s higher susceptibility to knee injury during upper level athletics. Although it seems unpreventable
Introduction There are several different kinds of "common" injuries such as a broken leg, rolled ankle, or a sprained knee. The one I will be researching and describing is the ACL injury. Which is one of the most common sports injuries? As Medical Definition states, "The ACL is a ligament in the knee that crosses from the underside of the femur (the thigh bone) to the top of the tibia (the bigger bone in the lower leg)." In essence, the ACL is a vital part of an athlete 's lateral lower body movement
General Purpose: To explain what the Anterior Cruciate Ligament is. Specific Purpose: To inform my audience how the ACL can be torn. General Idea: I will go into detail about what the acl is, how it can be torn, and the process to go through after it has been torn. Introduction In my speech I am going to start off by letting my audience know some facts about ACL tears. My speech is going to be all about the Anterior Cruciate Ligament and how it tears. I feel that I am certified to speak about this
with an acute ACL tear, a strategy of structured rehabilitation plus early ACL reconstruction did not result in better patient-reported outcomes at 2 years than a strategy of rehabilitation plus optional delayed ACL reconstruction in those with symptomatic instability. With the use of the latter strategy, more than half the ACL reconstructions could be avoided without adversely affecting outcomes. (Frobell, Roos, Roos, Ranstan, & Lohmander, 2010) Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are very common
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the most common knee injuries in female sports today. The ACL is a ligament that attaches the femur and tibia to the knee allowing the knee to bend while still being stable and supporting the whole body. Dr. Russel F. Warren, a physician for the New York Giants football team, explains, “The ACL prevents the shin bone (tibia) from moving too far forward on the thigh bone (femur) and keeps the knee from twisting inward excessively.” When athletes tear
Knee related injuries are extremely common, especially in sports. With various sports programs increasing in schools, the amount of reported knee injuries has also increased. One of the most common knee injuries is an anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL. The ACL injury is mostly common in sports that deal with jumping, running, and landing movements such as soccer (the most common), basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, and many more. It was found in a study done on the prevention and rehabilitation of
